Coupled with the fact that its the lightest of the eeveeloutions, it leans more towards it being a flying type. Theres a few flying types that dont have wings, so it wouldnt surprise me is thats what it turned out to be

Why do you guys quote with mentions, why? Anyway, here's the thing though, it doesn't have to be Light type, it could be "Good" in Japan, but second most popular guess is Fairy given it's name roots. The reason why I think it's a new type is because why else would Pokemon hide the type? With Eeveelutions you can always tell what type it it, so it's either Normal or New, I don't see why Pokemon would suddenly destroy it's pattern especially on Eevee line. I mean if it was Flying I'd expect to have something to give it away, maybe little clouds surrounding it like Ladorus' Therian Forme, Pokemon probably wouldn't make an Eeveelution that doesn't represent it's type well especially since that's the whole gimmick of Eevees (also [email protected]Ribbons helping it fly). Also Bugs are stupid and Dragons, well it doesn't look like a Dragon but it could be that. All the Eeveelutions have been "Special" types so far, the only "Special" type missing is Dragon, plus the Eeveelutions share the colour with its type, even Eevee but that's in it's Shiny Form, Sylveon has Pink and Blue, colours that are really close to the way Pokemon displays Dragon types, but then Sylveon looks nothing like a Dragon type and again it would ruin the line.

I think it's reverse, Pokemon started getting creative at Generation III, all the rest were pretty much un-original and sucky, though they did have some good ones like Togepi, Wobbufet, and Misdreavus in terms of originality.

Lets look at its english name, Sylveon. Sylv would imply its a forest pokemon, which would be more something towards Leafeon. Now lets look at Sylps. Sylps [as Sano pointed out on my FB page] are air beings- Flying Type

If it was going to be a "fairy" type then why wait till -now- to release the new type?? Clefairy and others are already listed as fairy pokemon, why not make them a fairy type sooner?? Making it a fairy type would mean they'd have to go back and completely change the type of pokemon like Clefairy, something thats never been done and will never happen [adding a secondary type to old pokemon is not the same as completely changing its type. I dont see them simply tacking on 'fairy' to fairy pokemon, they'd be a pure fairy type].

If we look at Ninifia's other names, the base of them is Nymph. There are 5 nymph types- Celestial, water, land, plant and underworld. Celestial nymphs spend time in the air, again eluding to a flying type.

As for the colors, you could argue the second band on the ears are the same color as flying. However, something did stick out at me on one of the scans- it had sparkles...like a shiny pokemon. What if, to confuse fans, GF released the shiny form of Ninfia?

And be respectful of others peoples opinions. You dont agree with them, fine, but do -not- be condescending or insulting. Act your age.

So here are it's moves. It really gave me the vibe of a flying or dragon type.

Oh yeah, the "ninf" from Ninfia is probably derived from Nymph, which are pretty darn close to fairies.

LOL GF was obviously confused and released the shiny version, that's totally what happened. And fairies are usually seen in forest, you know? It's German name, Feelinara, has fairy roots (fee=fairy). But of course, the roots of the name given to it could mean nothing, or you know, it could follow the Eevee formula and have strong roots to its type. And they would release a new type to give something new to Pokemon, obviously, don't you think they'd want to hype it up a bit more by releasing a new type after the 5th generation? And of course they'd go back and re-arrange some types, that's a given, like what they did when they added Steel, Clefairy will, without a doubt, become a fairy type unless Pokemon is stupid.

Did I say GF "screwed up"? No, I said they did it on PURPOSE. Guess what? Fairies FLY. Steel was tacked on as a secondary type to only 2 pokemon, given that steel was introduced in Gen 2 [magnemite, magneton]

If you do it, I'm going to do it, though I completely forgot to remove your mention, sorry. And yeah, I see absolutely no reason as to why they would announce a Pokemon with it's shiny form first and even go as far as giving it official shiny art, that would be stupid. And they didn't give Steel to more types because THEY DIDN'T NEED IT. Clefairy and it's evolutions will probably be the only ones that receive Fairy type status in generation 1 and that's only 2 as well. And so what if SOME fairies can fly? Dragons are usually depicted as flying as well, the majority don't have Flying type as it's secondary or first type, same with Bug types.

Ive yet to quote a post with any mention, sans the one with Ribbon. So kindly not blame me for something I havent even done.

Adding it as a secondary type for 2 pokemon is one thing, 9 is another. 7 of which wouldnt make sense to have it as just a secondary type

Then those could be added as Fairy types too? The reason they didn't add more Steel type was because it wasn't needed, that Fairy Egg-Group just shows all the potential future Fairy types if it is a thing. And that's why I said sorry, I FORGOT to remove the mention, like I said.

After claiming "if you do it, I do it too." right?

Rhyhorn and its group couldve been changed to steel, and *none* were changed/added as dark [to which there was a good amount of gen 1 pokemon that couldve been dark type].

And lets face facts, the 'evidence' for a new type is weak, very weak. Unless you can come up with something more concrete over speculation [given, I understand this is all speculation] then I think holding your breath for a new type is really pointless. A lot more speculation/evidence points to flying, not a new type.

Re: This is way cuter than anything else posted on AF

Flying is weak too, you guys are trying to make something out of nothing, so what if Jolteon was across from Sylveon, it went from order of Eeveelutions not some pattern people hope is there, and the moves don't even look like Flying type, if anything right now, it looks like a Normal type, Flying is idiotic. And maybe Pokemon didn't think Rhyhorn could be a steel type, I know I don't, and the only Dark types for generation I see is the Gengar evolution line but that is still a very subjective area. What's not subjective is its name roots, the colours, and everything else that's always in an Eeveelution. That "if you do it, I'll do it" was aimed at everyone at general too, btw.
